Dusk arrives slowly through the Yucatán canopy, and the trail into Coba opens like a door into another tempo—birds call from the lofty ceiba trees and the air cools enough to make slow walking comfortable. Visitors move from shaded stone causeways to the base of Nohoch Mul, the climbable pyramid that still rewards those who ascend with broad jungle views and a sunbow sinking behind the treeline.
